What retail and grocery stores are open on Thanksgiving Day 2024?

Thanksgiving Day 2024 falls on Thursday, Nov. 28, and many people will use the occasion to relax, enjoy time with family, or take a break from their regular routine.

For those planning to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving meal or perhaps start early holiday shopping, it’s crucial to know which stores will be open.

If you realize you’ve forgotten an important ingredient or need to pick up last-minute supplies, several retailers, grocery stores, and convenience stores will remain open. However, it’s important to remember that certain states, including Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, have laws that prevent most businesses from operating on Thanksgiving, meaning many stores in these states will be closed.
